I do not know how you rationalize DQ.  For myself I view feelings as
emotions and imho indefinable emotions have metaphysical reality DQ in MOQ.
"categories" is a product of evolution and emotions as being indefinable
function without intellectual logic.

Passions/Feelings are more closely allied than Passions/Intellect in
evolutionary description.  Decision can follow passionate reality as well as
intellectual reality.

I do not see hunger as identical to will.  I prefer a meal to a decision
when I am hungry.
